Just Add Ink Swap Hop

Happy Sunday ~

Photobucket


This is something different and fun for the weekend and the very first time I've participated in a Blog Hop.

Recently the Just Add Ink design team girls had a card swap. A swap is where all participants make multiple copies of one card design and send them off to the rest of the group and you end up receiving a copy of everyone's cards, for your simple effort of designing just one. We thought we'd share them all with you on a Swap (Blog) Hop!

There are 14 stops on our Swap Hop, and it's set up in a loop so it doesn't matter where you start. All you need to do to follow along is click the Swap Hop button at the end of each post and you'll be taken to the next stop!

My swap is a Gift Card Holder using the new In Colours and the level 1 Hostess Gift Designer Series Paper Pack. I've embellished using the coordinating 1/2 inch Stitched-Poly Ribbon and Clear Embossed the For You Flower a la Carte stamp, punched using the Fancy Flower Extra Large punch and layered using the 1-3/8 and 1-1/4 inch Circle punches.

An inside view, with a raised 'slot' for tucking your gift card (or folded money) in safely before closing and securing with your ribbon embellishment.

I hope you like my 'Blushing Bride' Gift Card Holder. You can see all of my In Colour Swaps wrapped in cello bags ready for posting here. Now head off to the next stop (Gorgeous Gardenia) by clicking on the blinkie below and have lots of fun!

  15. Well, you already know how much I loved this Patrice. As some of my Christmas presents will be gift cards, this design is going to get a workout.

    I also love how pretty it looks in Blushing Bride - I have really grown to love this colour.
